Utrecht: Discovery Tour DOMunder

Additional Information & Description

DOMunder takes you beneath Utrecht’s Dom Square to search for archaeological treasures buried beneath the city. This award-winning historical attraction turns 2,000 years of history into an underground discovery tour, with the remains beneath your feet at the centre of the visit.

From ancient cellars to the excavation

The Discovery Tour begins in ancient cellars, where you learn about the history of Domplein before continuing to the archaeological dig in the centre of the square. The route moves from an introduction to the place into the excavation itself. A smart flashlight is included: carry it into the underground maze and use it to search for hidden finds. Rather than staying above ground and hearing about what lies below, you enter the spaces where the archaeological exploration takes place.

Roman roots and a storm that changed the square

The historical story reaches from Utrecht’s Roman past into its medieval era. It also covers the devastating storm of 1674, which caused the nave of Dom Church to collapse and led to the creation of Dom Square. That event gives the square overhead a direct connection to the history explored below. The visit brings together archaeological remains and accounts of the changes that shaped Utrecht across these different periods.
